We can make educate the guess to find out a little bit more insight information lets send it over to ron burke whos on the red carpet. Ron . Reporter iain here at the top of the Art Museum Steps looking at the players as they begin to come down the first few players announced we have Adori Jackson the cornerback from usc eagles have need at that position great need and just about 15 feet away is corey smith he is corey davis a receiver from western michigan a player seems to be a fan favorite here among the fans gathered behind me here at the red carpet. Calling his name. I heard some fans say corey at 14. Corey and eagles that kind of thing thats kind of the enthusiasm were witnessing he here. Short time ago i spoke with eagles safety Rodney Mcleod they wont be pick ago safety to take his place in the first round tonight. I asked rodney what position do you think this team should address at number 14. I just want them to make the best pick. Do whatever they have to make sure our team gets better. I have some opinions. Give me one. Im thinking possibly cornerback or unrunning back. Those are two positions im thinking. Eagles players are eager to see who will be joining them their forces. Another player rodney didnt mention gary i dont know conley the cornerback from ohio statewidely protect the to be a top ten pick of course he ran into some off field problems. Hes the center of a Sexual Assault investigation. So its highl highly doubtful he at the eagle and perhaps wont get drafted this week and of the well see how that place out. Iain, back to you.

Many schools across the country have already shifted their start times. Reaction here, mixed. Well be getting up a little bit later which is fine because were getting up 5 30 as toys get him out the door and teenagers theyre just tired. I think its a bad idea. I think the kids are acclimated to the schedules they have now. All of the sports revolve around it. I just think it would throw a wrench into the whole thing. The School District acknowledges its going to have to change some stuff up like busing, some sports and after school activities. But it believes its in the best overall interest of its studen students. I love it. Back to your fox 29 Weather Authority now.

So well be very close lucy to that record and well see if we make it to 90 degrees for saturday. But all in all looking pretty decent especially for the nfl draft. Its pretty exciting. I have theory why its so h hot. Do you . Yeah its the hundreds of thousands of visitors and body heat emanating throughout the city right now. Maybe its just me. Sean bell might back me up on this one. Do you think thats it . You think the draft is important . Just a little bit, okay. We care a little bit about the draft. If you didnt already know. Eagles have the 14th overall pick and theres a lot of different possibilities at that spot. So well head down to novacare with how war eskin to talk about possibilities at that 14th spot.

The eagles have the 14th overall pick and they better get it right. This is where Howie Roseman and joe douglas are supposed to make their money. The fans are at the parkway but all the decisions are being made at novacare. Our howard eskin at the novacare complex. Howard i know you spoke to roseman earlier. What are you hearing now . Reporter okay. Heres whats going to happen. Ill tell you first the guys im not hearing. Although ruben foster the linebacker from alabama real really will have to think about that. But were talking character issues here not just diluted test sample but some other issues that could be a problem and probably will be a problem. Obviously gary on conley and Mike Williams is not a problem but i dont think they like him. So here are the possibilities at 14 and i think i dont think the eagles will move up. The first possibility is jonathan allen. Listed at times defensive end, listed at times as defensive tackle hes very good. He could go before but if theres three quarterbacks taken somewhere before the eagles, if theres three, hes got a chance to move down. Hes got a chance. Lets just put that it way. Another player and this is the guy that i think really could be their pick. Wide receiver out of western michigan and his name is corey davis. Hes 6foot two. Got speed. No character issues with the two guys ive talked about so far. Not at all. And i dont think Christian Mccaffery will be in this mix either. John ross out of washington. Good receiver but not as big. So i dont know if they really wanting to that direction. But i dont think theyre going to have to go that far down the list. The three guys jonathan allen, corey davis wide receiver, john ross a wide receiver and another name to look for depending on where he slips or goes is Derek Barnett the defensive end out of tennessee. So heres what im going to tell if you high to pick one player, i would take the wide receiver out of western minnesota corey davis as the player i think for multiple reasons and hes a good guy. He would be the guy i think theyre going to take at 14. So well see what happens. It starts 8 00 oclock and ill see you again tonight. All right. Howard, of course, corey davis and ross said they want to be an eagle. Thank you howard. Quick note on the phillies they earlier game today at Citizens Bank park. Sixth inning rookie gets his first career triple. Michael saunders comes in to score phils go on to win this game threetwo. But of course all the news is about the draft. And hopefully the eagles get impact player and big shout out to the temple guys. Haason reddick may be a top ten pick now. Temple strong. Tonight at 10 00, this couple signed on to run rent a philly home. They had to walk away when the landlord tried to tell them who could not visit them. Fox 29 investigates has their story. All right.
